Barking Spiders 2: Poetry for Children

** 2011 Cybils Book Award Nominee in Poetry ** In this long-awaited sequel to her first Barking Spiders book, CJ Heck continues her journey to help children experience life through poetry with her unique blend of humor, insight and with an understanding that, like adults, children wish to make sense of the world they live in. And when it still doesn’t make sense she helps them see, that’s okay, too, because it doesn’t always make sense.

This is magical – children’s poetry at its very best.

CJ’s understanding of, and ability to enter into, the mind of a child is apparent in every page of her children’s poetry. Her devotion to and expertise in writing poetry is in my opinion, second to none.

When I was a child I thought as a child and I spoke as a child. CJ Heck has never forgotten what it is like to be a child. She writes for children so they can understand, learn and enjoy the imagination given to them and grow.
